Whilst they cater for all your basic needs in the lobby store and resturant, it was a little pricey (but to be expected). Highly recommend buying groceries at a major retailer prior to heading into the valley. Excellent proximity to the trails. Huge rooms with access to basic kitchenette.

There are no airs or graces about El Portal.

There are no airs or graces about El Portal. It is in the wilderness and people staying here should realise this. It has all the basics one needs plus it has some of the most breathtaking scenery you will ever encounter and is perfect for access to the National Park.

Great location with views!

Great location with views! El Portal is a village of apartment blocks. Has all facilities needed including a shop, restaurant & laundry. We ate a good pizza in the pizzeria. Nice to come back & have a swim & spa at the end of the day!
Didn't like to have to pay for wifi.

I was traveling by public transport using the Amtrak to Merced then the YARTS bus to Yosemite & the free shuttle within the National Park. The YARTS bus stopped at Cedar Lodge where I was staying. There was nothing else in the immediate area apart from the Lodge & countryside.

El portal itself is very small but as gateway to Yosemite it's a fantastic place to stay. In Yosemite we enjoyed Tuolome meadows even more than Yosemite valley. In the valley park up and make use of the regular shuttle buses to get around.
Mirror lake is a great walk for kids. Vernal falls gets very busy and is extremely steep but you do get a good view of the falls from the footbridge.

Very close to the entrance to Yosemite national park.

Very close to the entrance to Yosemite national park.
Get all big essentials you will need in a big town before you get there and
fill up on gas.
It's a long drive but it's worth being close to the park, as people queue up early in the morning to enter the park.
The park can get very packed in the summer.

Hotels that guests love in El Portal

“The location is very good, it is very close to the Yosemite main gate. The bed and the pillows were very comfortable.
The staff was nice, they let us leave one of the cars in front of the hotel after we checked out.
There were very nice tables with chairs next to our room.”

“Great hotel from which to visit Yosemite national park. Staff were very friendly. Plenty of car parking. Rooms were a very god size. Cute on-site souvenir shop and grocery store, both of which were reasonably priced. Would definitely recommend and stay here again!”
